CTAN Up­date: ba­bel

Date: April 26, 2018 7:14:59 PM CEST

Javier Be­zos López sub­mit­ted an up­date to the
ba­bel
pack­age.
Ver­sion: 3.19 2018-04-25
Li­cense: lp­pl1.3
Sum­mary de­scrip­tion: Mul­tilin­gual sup­port for Plain TeX or LaTeX
An­nounce­ment text: Most changes are for LuaTeX:
- The main new fea­ture is a bidi method for both im­plicit L in
R text, and im­plicit R in L text, with the pos­si­bil­ity of
switch­ing the font au­to­mat­i­cally. Still some­what
ex­per­i­men­tal, but it should work in most cases.
- lay­out=ex­tras for a cou­ple of mis­cel­la­neous read­just­ments.
- bidi equa­tion num­bers.
Also, for all en­gines, new field in some ini files:
dig­its.na­tive (to be used in fu­ture re­leases).

ba­bel – Mul­tilin­gual sup­port for Plain TeX or LaTeX

The pack­age man­ages cul­tur­ally-de­ter­mined ty­po­graph­i­cal (and
other) rules, and hy­phen­ation pat­terns for a wide range of
lan­guages. A doc­u­ment may se­lect a sin­gle lan­guage to be
sup­ported, or it may se­lect sev­eral, in which case the doc­u­ment may
switch from one lan­guage to an­other in a va­ri­ety of ways.
